Cheers all!  No nack then...

I took two stereos out today in work in other cars.  I do several a week so its not like its something I havent done before!  I remember years ago struggling with a nova radio and finding it was bolted at the back.  I wondered if these had something like that.  I have tried twice now to get this out! 

Oh well, brute force it is then! 

:D:D

Drive it to any city centre car park and leave it unlocked. The local chazs will have it out in 30-secs  ;) ;)

I've just swapped out my stereo and had to go to Halfrauds to get the right wire pins.
The ones I bought have little slots in the sides of the pins - after struggling for ages I found that I had got the slots the wrong way round ie facing in rather than out. I also had been pushing them in too far - when they are the right way round I felt a slight 'click' as they slid in and I could pull the unit out easily...

Mind you - I did get very close to using a 4lb lump hammer instead :shock:

Haha, am I glad its not me!  The week before trying the stereo I did the boot floor, repaired the wheel arch, trackrod end etc and then end up posting on a forum because I cant get the damn stereo out!  The pins I have have cuts either side so it shouldnt matter but I am going to borrow another pair just in case the cuts not deep enough or whatever.

Thanks for admiting you struggled, I dont feel such a tit anymore!  :D

If the other pins dont work, I am going for chris's suggestion.  Im only 20 miles from liverpool, if I drive up there and ask around outside a nursery/primary school or something there muct be someone who can help!  ;)
